I listen to alot of slap and pop but i been told my style is along the classical guitar type. IMO its awsome to hear a Bass playing melody and then jumping into some thump. But it depends on the feel of the song, and how the drums are going as well. I say if you can't slap or pop, so what play...

I know how you feel dude. When I first started playing bass it was with the intention of play old school Sepultura, Metallica, Exodus, etc etc. I started playing in 1994. Well when I started playing I learned from Jazz musicians in my orchestra class, and up to that point I was playing Viola...

then you want to get at least an 8 x 10 cab and about a 500 watt head. Ampegs have great 8 x 10s but I prefer the carvin 8 x 10.

I was wondering what type of cab configurations you all are running. I run an 8 x 10 cab but im thinking of possibly finding a diffrent set up. also I am at work and its slow. But would would be a good cab set up for blend of Metal type of lowend with slapping and jazz style riffs. I was...

I was wondering if the Hartke Amps and cabs any good. Last night I was at my church and the bass player there had a Hartke head on a 4 x 10 combo and it sounded pretty cool. He was running a Line 6 pod. Just a question are they good amps? Also, I managed to talk my friend into taking some...

trust me i have tried. He wouldn't even take my extra car that we offered him to use for while. He was insistant that i keep the rig cause he said he knows I will use it. Plus when he gets back up i plan on giving it back or buying him a new set up. But theroitcly I could disconnect the head...

he refused it, and insisted I have the cab. He is leaving for his parents house tommrow. He wanted to sell me his bass and i was like dude, come on, you need to keep that atleast. So i talked him to keeping his bass. But he was insistant i keep the combo. So i might as well add it to my rig. Any...

yea, shes taking him for everything. He's crashing right now at my house and I offered him more for it, but he said thats all he needed for now.

I was given a Behringer Ultrabass BX4410A today at work. The dude is going through a divorce and needed some cash. I only gave him 20 for it. It is the 4 x 10 combo 450 watts. I know I can ad another 4 x 10 and make it a 8 x x10. Would I be able to run a diffrent head if I wanted to? Or connect...

Here is my baby

I used to have the same problem. More practice and playing shows will get you used to it. I have a tendency to rush into the set with the adrinaline flowing I used to give it all in the first song, by the end of the set my hand would be so tight i would have to have my wife massage it. Now I let...

go to americanmusical.com they have good deals and great payment options.

The bass player to Nirvana pissed me off honestly. I love nirvana but I hated the way the dude would play with his pick. The way he played just pissed me off so some reason.

I been trying my hand at some tapping techniques as of late but still do not have a clear understanding on it I think. I see alot of people when they tap they are pressing down on the frets of the note they are playing. That leads me to ask about how much pressue is actually to be applied to the...
